The detection and tracking of small weak maneuvering radar targets in complex electromagnetic environments is still a difficult problem to effectively solve. To address this problem, paper proposes dynamic programming tracking-before-detection method based on long short-term memory (LSTM) network value function(VL-DP-TBD). With the help estimated posterior probability provided by designed LSTM ...

This study presents a capacitated multi-facility location-allocation problem with stochastic demands based on a well-known distribution function. In this discrete environment, besides the capacitated facilities, we can employee the capacitated sub-source of each facility for satisfying demands of customers. The objective function is to find the optimal locations of facilities among a finite num...

To examine the temporal effects of plasmin generated in vivo on platelet function, we infused tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in rabbits over 3 hours and measured ex vivo platelet aggregation. We noted an initial increase in the aggregation response to ADP occurring 30 minutes after the start of infusion. This enhanced response was short-lived and by 180 minutes was reduced, compared w...

We develop an approximate dynamic programming approach to network revenue management models with customer choice that approximates the value function of the Markov decision process with a non-linear function which is separable across resource inventory levels. This approximation can exhibit significantly improved accuracy compared to currently available methods. It further allows for arbitrary ...

Class-based inheritance is normally seen as a basic concept and a prerequisit of object-oriented programming. This position paper states that class-based inheritance is not essential for an object-oriented programming language. Instead of class-based inheritance aggregation, parametrical bindings, and aliasing can be used. Aggregation and parametrical bindings are basic concepts of an object mo...

Background and Objectives: Recently, the use of probiotics for the treatment of Urinary Tract Infections has become more popular. The use of probiotics in therapy is useful as only a few side effects such as destruction of resistant bacteria or disturbance of the intestinal microbiota have been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the probiotic effects of lactic acid bacteria by co-a...

The problem of averaging outcomes under several scenarios to form overall objective functions is of considerable importance in decision support under uncertainty. The fuzzy operator defined as the so-called Weighted OWA (WOWA) aggregation offers a well-suited approach to this problem. The WOWA aggregation, similar to the classical ordered weighted averaging (OWA), uses the preferential weights ...
